I don’t really have anything to throw them on yet. So that was that. 1 Quote
schplurg Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Split-ring pliers from Texas Tackle, some trebles, and a sharpener. I kinda pulled a fast one on the Monkey and got stuff that will help me saaaave money. Pffft I hope. He already got me for the "Truck Emergency Kit" which was a BPS $20 telescopic spinner rod, a Pflueger Trion reel, and an $11 backback for it. Things I already had: some tackle from my barbless kit and some mixed plastics, a scale, pliers, and reading glasses (dude I keep reading glasses everywhere). It sits behind my seat waiting for me to spot some mysterious fishing hole somewhere. Was gonna add a first aid kit but I already got the pliers, so... Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted February 14, 2020 Super User Posted February 14, 2020 Does color matter for topwater lures? That is the question I hope to answer for myself with these. I had six Popmax clones painted up in these three basic colors and the plan is to swap out colors with every hit. My hope is that color does not matter so I can buy garish jdm colorways as they catch my eye instead of having to care about effectiveness. 3 Quote

walleyecrazy Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 The monkey got me again. I need some open water so I can spend time on the water instead of online looking at tackle before I go broke ? I needed a new T-rig/light jig rod to replace my current one that I’ve never really been truly happy with. Ended up getting a great deal on a Daiwa Tatula Elite 7’3” MH/F. Also figured while I was at it I may as well pair it with a new reel. So I have it matched up with a Daiwa Tatula 100. The only down side is my bone head self wasn’t paying attention and damaged the wrapping on one of the guides while taking it out of my rod rack about 2 hours after I got it. Looks like DVT will be getting some more business so I can get it repaired ? 8 Quote

Super User J._Bricker Posted February 15, 2020 Super User Posted February 15, 2020 Per @Tizi ‘s request for a report in R2S crankbaits, here are my thoughts. Water temp was 49 degrees and I was chucking them on a 7’3” MH rod with a Curado 7.2:1 reel with 20lb test braid main line and 12lb test fluoro leader. Things cast like a rocket, and had no problem getting down to 18-20 feet and went through sparse grass (hydrilla) without collecting on the lure which seemed to run true. I would have like to had the opportunity to post a pic with the bait in a fish’s mouth, but that didn’t didn’t happen during my day on the delta. I look forward to throwing them in the future and hearing others opinions as well. Currently, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 4 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 15, 2020 Super User Posted February 15, 2020 So picked up this guy used. Feels pretty good. I took it apart today and lubed it. It was bone dry and it was quite the challenge Also and I should have taken a picture when I had it apart, the main gear and the pinion looked almost burnt. I have never seen a reel that looks this spotless and perfect on the outside and look this odd on the inside. I may have to invest in a new set. We will see. 4 Quote

Blade baits work great up here, especially in the Columbia River for smallmouth bass. Yes, the monkey got me for these too. I'll be using them soon and will report back. Quote
Super User PhishLI Posted February 16, 2020 Super User Posted February 16, 2020 The newest addition to the fam. Just need to wait til the pads come up again. My TatSV would sit pretty on this stick, but the monkey is whispering "Get the new Tatula Elite Flip Pitch. You know you want it". Bad bad monkey. 4 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted February 16, 2020 Super User Posted February 16, 2020 Been awhile since I got anything new, but the itch has come back this winter and I made a few orders today: --Some Fogy bladed jigs and Cosmic spinnerbaits from Siebert Outdoors with some of his new skirt patterns. --Some misc. blades, heads and other components from Barlows to make some more more jigs, bladed jigs and Spinnerbaits. --Presidents day sale order from another site for a few keitechs, craws, lipless cranks & jerkbaits, including my first Vision 110... Got spring on my mind... 1 Quote

Super User FishTank Posted February 16, 2020 Super User Posted February 16, 2020 I went to the Indy Boat, Sport and Travel Show today and came home with this thing. At a couple of booths they had any NRX rod for $350 and the Conquest was $425. I could have gone crazy but one is enough (for now). They also had the Tatula Elite for $180. I have to say, it feels exactly like the Steez. I think it's going to be the next "it" reel. I did see a guy there that bought 3 NRX's and 2 Conquests. He said he would add them to the rest of his Loomis NRX and GLX collection> Must be nice. Also, the guy that talked me into this rod was Ish Monroe. I didn't recognize him without the Daiwa hat and shirt. Great guy by the way. 8 Quote
